Symbolic thinking characteristics of Chinese folk paper-cutting
As for the emergence of symbolic thinking, Hegel said: "Symbols are the beginning of art, both in terms of its concept and its appearance and sequence in history." Mr. Zhuge Kai believes: "When primitive humans realized the issues of life, death and reproduction, and then sought the relationship between human survival and nature and the universe, but were unable to use scientific methods to explain all this, symbolic thinking emerged." Indeed, the art of paper-cutting It only happened after art happened, but after all, it belongs to the category of art. Therefore, it has the common attribute of symbolic thinking.
When Mr. Zuo Hanzhong talked about the modeling of folk art, he called the creative method of folk artists "image modeling" and compared the creations of modern folk artists with primitive imagery. He believed that "primitive imagery is influenced by primitive psychological structures. Casting and standardization are not simple intuitive reflections. For them, primitive art is a realistic imitation and a communication of primitive imagery, but this reality is subjective. The aesthetic image structure of folk art and primitive imagery come from the same place. Yes, although it is also based on emotional imagery as a physiological basis, it is not equivalent to perceptual imagery. It is also subjective reality. Folk art pursues emotional truth and often does not pay attention to image truth." In fact, paper-cutting The "truth" pursued in art does not lie in the direct appearance of the appearance, but pays more attention to the containment and restraint of the inner life. This restraint is the interpenetration and transformation of the emotions of folk artists, and this interpenetration and transformation has a strong indicative effect of comparison. , after all, symbolism is the essential feature of artistic thinking in the paper-cut pattern collection.
